The 1641 rebellion is one of the seminal events in Early Modern
Irish and British history. Its divisive legacy, based primarily on
the sharply contested allegation that the rebellion began with a
general massacre of Protestant settlers, is still evident in
Ireland today. Indeed, the 1641 'massacres', like the battles at
the Boyne (1690) and Somme (1916), played a key role in creating
and sustaining a collective Protestant/ British identity in Ulster,
in much the same way that the subsequent Cromwellian conquest in
the 1650s helped forge a new Irish Catholic national identity. The
original and wide-ranging themes chosen by leading international
scholars for this volume will ensure that this edited collection
becomes required reading for all those interested in the history of
early modern Europe. It will also appeal to those engaged in early
colonial studies in the Atlantic world and beyond, as the volume
adopts a genuinely comparative approach throughout, examining
developments in a broad global context.
